 | Looking for the Lost by Alan Booth, John Urda, Joshua Sitzer
Author Booth, who walked the length of Japan in 1977, also took three separate journeys by foot through rural areas of Japan several years later. The stories of those trips make up this book. In the first, to the Tsugaru peninsula on Japan's northwest tip, he retraces the steps of Japanese novelist Dazai Osamu, a native of that region who wrote a book about a journey back there as an adult. The second trip, through the wilderness on the island of Kyushu, was inspired by an episode from Japanese history; Booth follows the path taken by Saigo Takamori, a rebel general who was defeated in 1877. The third is a melancholy journey following a river into the hills north of Nagoya, where Booth sought traces of the descendants of the 12th-century Heike clan. Booth was dying while he wrote the book, and his nostalgia encompasses not just the lost Heike, but the looming loss of his own life. AUTHOR: Alan Booth, John Urda, Joshua Sitzer

 | Tour '72 by Michael D'Antonio
In the history of professional golf, 1972 stands as one of the most competitive, thrilling seasons. Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, and Lee Trevino towered over the Tour, hustling chip shots out of the rough, booming drives, and slipping unthinkable putts into the cup. Between them, they won the four Majors, and author D'Antonio records every green break, every charge and fade, and every sudden-death match during the season none will soon forget.
